[Solved] Copy contents of one cell into another

Post by tadd5181 »

I want the contents of one cell to show up in a second cell, so that when the first cell's content changes, the second cell's contents also changes. How do I do that?

If the first cell is A1, then the formula

Code: Select all

=A1
in another cell will duplicate A1. Does that work for you?

If the address of the first cell is A1 and you want the same display to show in B1, then enter the following formula into B1

Code: Select all

=A1
Change as appropriate for your specific situation.
